While this is true Hong Kong went back to China in 1999. Most of the working class in Hong Kong speak British English with a Chinese accent.

All I am saying is that if Dorit is so sensitive in picking up accents because of those she is surrounded by then her accent should be more of a hodge podge of multiple languages. Let's include the nannies and housekeepers who are not British. These are people she spends tons of time with because she is always with her children.

I do think her accent is a hodge podge though, and that's much of the reason it sounds so terrible.  (I think that's what got the ball rolling about her accent in the first place).

Its a head scratcher for sure, which is why I have usually stayed away from the topic. Just hard to know for sure. I have been gone from Oklahoma for 20 years, and while my accent has lestened, it is still there. Everyone else in my family left it behind years ago, but I am often still asked where I am from after living in Michigan for 15 years. If I go back to OK for a weekend, I come back to Michigan and no one can understand a damn thing I am saying. It takes me months to loose the drawl. Someone I talked to years ago told me that it's not so much that some people easily pick up accents, but that some people have a hard time getting rid of them. That is what I assumed from Dorit. That she held on to accents she had from her days of traveling the globe. The thing with hearing her speak 3 years ago without any accent at all, changes my perception. If she is one that tends to hold on to her accent, she would have still had it 3 years ago. If she is one that is easily picks up and accent based on her surroundings,  she would sound more like a California gal than someone from the UK. Just doesn't make sense to me. I just think that she is someone who likes the idea of speaking with an accent. 

I think there's an element of that as well, which, when combined with her multi-cultural life experiences and multi-lingual upbringing, and a house full o' Brits and other nationalities, could result, largely unintentionally, in that hodge podge of an unfortunate and very affected-sounding accent she speaks with.  

I think she is telling the truth when she says she isn't doing it on purpose because who, in the age of PBS, would fake an accent that bad?  Occam's Razor ;)

Erika intentionally did not wear underpants, but it wasn't her intention to have people talk about it. Dorit loses her accent when she gets heated so it would seem that she is putting it on when she has more time to think about how she is speaking.

But, can't the same be said of Ericka? I mean, her "real" accent came out when she went to Georgia right? So, the way we hear her talking on the show could also be construed as her being a pretentious phony trying to sound posh, right? 

It's common for Southerners to lose their accent when they've not been living in the South for awhile, and then having it come raging back when they're there. Erika has a nasal voice and doesn't seem to be trying to sound "posh."

She really does. Once again it highlights the weirdly performative way she expresses her sexuality. She always doing these things that she thinks we think are sexy, but not things she actually enjoys or make her authentically feel sexy. It's very robotic. She's not as bad as Courtney Stodden, but it's pretty sad to witness.

When you contrast Erika with the original bare snatch, Sonja Tremont Morgan of the commando Morgans, in Sonja you see a woman who is doing what she enjoys and what she actually thinks is sexy even if she looks a hot mess. Even if she's banging a pirate in the bushes.

If Eileen were running the show we would have about a three episode season. :-)  Between her writing notes to people and tearing them up, and returning  unsolicited gifts by mail, it would make for a short season.  Why would any random viewer care about what happened with the bunny?

I'm thinking the bunny was placed there while they were in their dressing rooms and/or bathrooms getting "touched" up. So they didn't see it.

Now if it made any noise - the cellophane crinkling and rustling the HWs probably thought Eden was settling into her topiary.

Notice how no one is giving the time of day to Eden? Hey Eden you and your quartz, GTHO (get the heeallling out)

When Kim said she was healed...I thought of the guy that said he's been delivert

As a bunny I will take Rinna's house over Kim's. At Rinna's, Lorena will take care of me...at Kim's I will either be mauled by Kingsley or all of the stuffing with be removed from my torso when Kim is hunting for her stash

If she is going to do that pose then she should (imo) at least angle her left knee slightly toward the camera so that her thigh is not the focal point (maybe not "focal point"...not sure the words to use). I'm not saying should should spread her legs (lol) and I'm not saying her thigh is fat....it just looks larger and should be angled away from the camera. I'm sure this comes across as fat shaming which is not my intent (she isn't fat). I'm trying to talk about how to look better in a photo, lol, based on my extensive experience from watching America's Next Top Model (LOL).

Besides race, said picture does not resemble Vanessa Williams. It's actually Lil' Kim in a photograph by David LaChapelle titled Blow Up Doll. The overdone makeup and open mouth are fairly typical of the inflatable (blow up) sex doll variety. LaChapelle is known for his pop hyper-real subversive style.

Considering that Mikey directed the video, I'm almost positive that he is referencing this particular LaChapelle photograph. LaChapelle directed Rize, a documentary about krumping and clown dancing. Following the release of the documentary, many of the dancers featured in the film wound up dancing on the tours of many pop music acts. If Mikey wasn't working with these dancers, I'm sure he'd seen them perform and I'm sure he's seen the documentary. Rize is fucking gorgeous.

Mikey has a thimble of the cultural references that LaChapelle does, which is why Mikey's work on Erika's videos often resembles LaChapelle and other more notable artists and looks like a copy of a copy. And it's not like I think LaChapelle some super great intellect.

And because it's Thursday and the krumping battles reminded me of the voguing battles from Paris is Burning, here's a throwback:

I love everyone's faces when Kim gives the bunny back. They are just a collection of expressions that show just how weird and awkward that was. Rinna's tears...I just can't with that woman.

[AndySmith]

If you ever wanted to hide from Rinna, there is always the pantry...

[Snappy]

As for Erika's sartorial choices, just because you CAN wear something, doesn't mean you SHOULD wear it. Erika has a beautiful shape, one that I would love to have as well. Despite the fabulous shape, she should dress appropriately for the occasion(s). Wearing something in public that barely covers your rear end is inappropriate. In private? Go for it! In her "profession"? Go for it! If she is going to wear something super short to an event, AND announce she is without underpants, she is setting herself up for comments. If she can do what she wants, why can't others do what they want and discuss "pantygate" in the privacy of their own homes, albeit with cameras rolling. Saying that PK and Dorit, or anyone else, was wrong for discussing it among themselves is a double standard; Erika is allowed total freedom, but no one else is. Erika is the personification of, "she can dish it out, but she can't take it."

As for inferences PK has made? Puullease! ALL these women are the queens of inferences. They are ALL guilty of it, and cannot cast stones. If anything, PK came right out and stated his opinion.

I will agree with Rinna's tear...she would have been better off just saying "This says more about you, Kim than it does about me" and moved on. However, I will give her the benefit of doubt that the tear may have been caused more by the fact that her friend Kyle def knew that bunny was going to make an appearance. She clearly doesn't look to see what Kim is grabbing for and puts her head down trying not to smile. Uncomfortable smile? (maybe)

Edited April 14, 2017 by Martinigirl

[Jel]

Maybe in Rinna's mind, giving a new baby gift,  is a huge gesture of kindness?  To me, it's more of the level of bringing a gift to a hostess at a dinner you're invited to, but perhaps to Rinna, it was a genuine peace offering, and that's why she was hurt by it.  Kim returning it was as dumb as returning a bottle of wine to a rude guest. Just do what everyone else does, Kim -- give it away or throw it out. 

But having said that, the whole thing looked inauthentic to me.  If Rinna really did intend it as a peace offering, she's got a lot to learn about people if she thinks that something as banal as a baby gift is going to make any kind of actual impact, given her threatening texts, over-the-table throat-lunging and on-going snooping. Overall, it seemed like it was a gesture designed to benefit Rinna, The Hustler, to rehabilitate her image, and make her more likable to viewers, with the single tear close up for emphasis.

That's my impression from the clip anyway. Maybe there will be more on the full show.

Given how uncomfortable watching the preview was, I can only imagine how uncomfortable it was for those actually present. Since Kim and Rinna are both wackadoodle, drama queens, I hate the idea of defending either of them, but I did feel bad for Rinna. That was totally done as an "in your face", retribution for all the things Rinna has said about Kim behind her back. It was classless. As for Rinna, the bunny was but a weak attempt at making up for all the trash talk, and everyone, viewers included saw it for what it was. These two women need to stay far, far away from each other, or just not talk to each other. As for Andy, he isn't exactly a paragon of classy behavior since he probably knew what was going to happen. Anything for ratings.
